A New Way to Manage Peri-Implantitis
As the dental profession adapts to rapid advances in dental implants, it is important to ensure your office is equipped to meet the clinical challenges of placing and restoring dental implants, and managing any cases of peri-implant disease that may arise.
With tens of thousands of dental implants being placed over the last several years alone, the need for gentle, effective, modern therapy to manage incidences of peri-implantitis is a must.
BIOLASE dental lasers offer fast, effective, minimally invasive alternatives to traditional implant surgical tools.
Our Waterlase Express and Waterlase iPlus feature the REPAIR Implant protocol for flapless, acid-free debridement of the implant and surrounding tissues.
The ALL-NEW Waterlase Side Firing Tip™
Our NEW Waterlase Side Firing Tip (SFT) is ideal for safely and effectively debriding implant threads. Its 180° directional handle and uniquely tapered design put more confidence in your hands to treat infected subgingival implant surfaces, without opening a flap.
In conjunction with the Waterlase Express™ all-tissue laser, the REPAIR Implant™ protocol with the SFT is a groundbreaking solution for the management of moderate to severe peri-implantitis:
- Minimally invasive, no scalpels, sutures or open flaps
- Treat specific sites or full-mouth cases in a single visit
- Increase patient flow and case acceptance with patient-preferred laser technology
